End of an Era (The Clinton Era)

The Obama wave, which has been building for months, reached the proportions of a tidal wave after Iowa. It is now about to submerge, sink, and drown the Clinton campaign, and with it, the Clinton era will come, finally, to a close.

[tennmountainman]

Great read!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

And to watch the Clintons’ rage and desperation grow in the last days of this campaign will not be pretty.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, "It depends on what the definition of 'pretty' is."

As for me--pass the popcorn.

[the invisib1e hand]

the clinton era (such as it is) is not going anywhere.

Obama, you're a stooge; a puppet of your sponsors.

Think of Trading Places: "Mortimer, I'll bet you one dollar I can take this nobody from Illinois with the muslim name and make him President of the United States!

I’ve been visiting leftist websites all day, and the BIGGEST fact they are lementing is that the QUEEN OF THE HOMOSEXUALS has been defeated by a Homophobe...

It’s like it’s the end of life on Earth for them...

[tennmountainman]

So true!

[Fresh Wind]

This is all blue smoke and mirrors. They’re just setting the stage for Hillary’s big comeback, phony tears and all.

Never underestimate Hillary. She could be the Freddy Kruger of American politics.

I beg to differ. Well, maybe not pretty. But definitely beautiful. I can't wait.

[Parley Baer]

The media built up and supported the Klintoons. Now they have pulled the rug out at least for now. We will know a lot more after Feb 5.

[dynachrome]

Keep in mind the “super delegates” and the union dominated states coming up.

[goldstategop]

Let's wait til she's carried out in a strait-jacket to be really sure she's gone. As long as Hillary is around, she will scratch and claw her way to the top.

End of an Era (The Clinton Era)

Finally! (Hopefully).



Now, perhaps, we can concentrate all our energies, efforts, funds, towards defeating someone who, for all intents and purposes, should not be too difficult to defeat. How is it that in this great country of ours that so many people have come to believe that Obama is the best America has to offer? That's a nobody, an empty suit with no experience in running anything. And yet, he is applying for the most powerful position the world has ever known? And people are actually taking him seriously?

[TomGuy]

It will end Hillary’s run for the WH, but BillyJ will still continue his speechify-in.

If Hillary does not win, rumors, even before she announced, were that she would settle for challenging Reid for Senate Leader.

She will be around a long while. And BillyJ will continue earning $millions for his speeches.

“It’s like it’s the end of life on Earth for them...”

I think I’ll have a Coke.

[Radix]

I’m not buying any of this Obama fantasy either.

We shall see what happens.

[Billthedrill]

We'll see. If she's lost the press she's lost her most important ally. But it's a long, long way until November.

I don't dismiss Obama lightly, but if Hil blows the incredible advantages she's enjoyed since she was crowned elected junior Senator from New York it will have to constitute one of the biggest political chokes since Dewey/Truman.

[Redcloak]

The problem the Dems have is that Obama will never, ever get elected. It just ain't gonna happen.




...unless we're stupid enough to nominate Huckabee.

“Finally! (Hopefully).”

I live in hope, as well, but that Clinton phoenix has risen fron the ashes to many times for me to be over- confident too soon.

As for Obama, sure he’s an empty suit, but sadly, we ‘pubs have a couple of those running, as well. I’m not going to start anything by stating which ones I’m referring to; you all have your own opinions.

...unless we're stupid enough to nominate Huckabee.

You just hit the nail on the head. Heads (President Obama) they win a term; tails (President Huckster) we lose a generation.
